This is a repost of other thread so we can share great photos from raj kumar blades...
Rajkumar's Indonesian sword is getting some attention lately. Here's a thread about it:
First some pics:

This sword far exceeded the high expectations I already had from seeing the smallish pics Auntie posted. A true work of art in blade, handle, and scabbard. Even the hilt is detailed like the blade. The handiwork by Rajkumar is again wondrous to admire.:thumbup:
It is also immediately noticeable upon picking it up that this is a very serious hacking type of weapon. The balance point is a full 4 & 1/2 inches from the hilt, with a long enough handle at 8 inches to allow you use a 1 or 2 handed grip very effectively to swing it with full force.
Sorry no pics of me chopping up stuff with this beauty. I can't bring myself to do it yet, she is too pretty to mar up the blade. Zombiebrainz might the first thing this blade tastes besides mineral oil.![]()
